Cisco Catalyst 9300 Boot

[EngineeringAir]

All,

I have a switch that has the correct IOS image and its brand new from the box.  It booted properly and I unplugged it, racked it and it goes into ROMMON.

When I initiate the boot flash:packages.conf command it boots properly but when I reboot the switch it requires a manual boot.  I checked the sho boot command and Manual Boot is set to no.

Can someone please shed some light on what could be causing this or a fix for this? 

Thanks,

E

config t

boot system flash:packages.conf

exit

wr

reload

Hi Reza,

That worked, thank you.

I've been going crazy.

All the best,
